USAID's Mango Pack House Operations Training Photographs

As part of its Mango Program, USAID has provided state-of-the art equipment to 13 mango farms across Sindh and Punjab on a cost share basis. This equipment includes complete mango processing lines with hot water treatment, blast chiller and cold storage units, and other essentials. Simultaneously, USAID has also conducted training sessions in Sindh and Punjab to help farm owners, managers, and workers learn how to install, operate, and maintain this equipment. Other important aspects of trainings included GLOBALG.A.P protocols for maintaining personnel and equipment hygiene, food safety measures, and correct methods of mango post-harvest handling, processing, packaging, storage, and transportation to markets (domestic and international). All this is part of a larger program to help Pakistani mangoes meet the international quality standards and productivity requirements for high-volume exports to international markets.
